center for academic engagement

The Center for Academic Engagement houses resources for students who want to enrich their academic experiences while strengthening their qualifications for employment and/or graduate school.

This can take many forms--perhaps supporting a community agency, studying in a developing nation, or participating as part of a research team in a laboratory.  An “engaged student” is one who is interested in their classwork and then puts that learning to work to become a participating and interested citizen. These activities help students develop essential skills, hone their interests, and become important contributors to the greater community. We invite you to use the resources available here for you!

With a shrine to democracy setting the scene, students consider current international problems at the Mount Rushmore Institute Forum on the Middle East.	Students tour and serve at Bread for the City, a D.C. non-profit that offers legal, social, medical, and food services to those in need.
Students enjoying exploring culture during the Spring 2008 study abroad semester in Maastricht, the Netherlands.	A study tour to Egypt in 2008 exposes USD students to the ancient roots of a modern middle eastern society.
